Two can play this game: The title reaction is catalyzed by a chiral secondary amine in the presence of an achiral thiourea for the enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized cyclobutanes (see scheme; TMS=trimethylsilyl). Mechanistically, two consecutive Michael reactions proceed through an unprecedented combination of an dienamine/iminium activation mode. Copyright
